I think she's quite qualified! I will get to meet with her on Tuesday. I was hoping not to have to repeat any tests that were done here in the last 2 weeks, but it looks like I may have to. That's ok though. None were too bad, well, except for the CAT scan of the abdomen. My stomach didn't agree to well with the Baruim (?) they make you drink and ended up throwing it up before they did the test. I tried so hard to keep it down! Haha. Luckily, they didn't make me drink any more and were able to still do the test. Now, I may have nightmares about doing that again! Here is my lovely schedule for the first few days were will be there:
10/10/06 1:30PM NEW PATIENT REGISTRATION - 1220 Holcombe Blvd - Mays Clinic - Please take elevator U to the 5th floor reporting to the Nellie B. Connally Breast Center - Please sign in at the receptionist desk and be seated to the left of the desk with films and the completed 9 page Patient History Database forms in hand.

It's great that you could "get to know" your oncologist before meeting her Tuesday. I didn't get a chance to tell you yesterday that I like the new hair cut! See you tomorrow.
